In the afternoon, Gu Fan came down early to warm up.
This afternoon's match is against the top three departments in economics and management. It can be said that as long as they win this match, they will enter the semi-finals.
"Senior, have some of this."
At this moment, Jiang Yumeng came to Gu Fan with a bottle of glucose oral solution.
Gu Fan nodded and finished it in one gulp.
Gu Fan looked at Jiang Yumeng and asked, "Isn't the women's team having any matches?"
Jiang Yumeng nodded: "Yes, but everyone else went to cheer, and the opponents weren't very strong, so I came to see you."
Gu Fan rubbed her head: "Then don't get too close to the field later, or you might get hit by the ball."
"Uh-huh."
Jiang Yumeng nodded.
She's only a freshman in college, and because of her physical condition and skills, she can't play yet; she can only cheer from the sidelines.
Soon, both sides finished their warm-up and took to the field.
Both sides looked at each other with serious expressions.
The match began with both sides playing a tight game from the start, giving each other no chance. After several exchanges, the School of Chemistry and Life Sciences finally scored a point.
The opposing team was also pressing hard, and the score quickly reached 10:7.
The audience outside the stadium was holding their breath, as if they themselves were the ones taking the stage.
This game was exceptionally close; both sides called timeouts once each, both times when the score difference was only two points.
In the final game point, the team from the School of Chemistry and Biology withstood the pressure and won the first game with a 25-23 lead.
However, in just the first match, both sides played as if it were the final, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more tense.
In this atmosphere, no one dared to be careless.
The more intense the match, the more physical exertion is required. In the second game, the School of Chemistry and Biology made three consecutive mistakes, resulting in a 0-3 start. Although they rallied to catch up, they still lost the second game.
In the third and fourth games, each side won one game.
The match has now entered its fifth game.
This was also the first fifth game of the entire match.
This is the moment that tests everyone's mentality.
With other matches already finished, everyone's attention is focused on this game, which has greatly increased the psychological pressure on both teams' players.
"Go for it, senior!" Jiang Yumeng held a tissue and tenderly wiped Gu Fan's sweat.
Her gaze fell on Gu Fan's hands, which were red and swollen from catching and spiking the ball.
The fifth match begins.
This game is only scored out of 15 points; whoever reaches 15 points first wins.
From the very beginning, neither side showed any intention of testing the waters; both went all out.
Meanwhile, on the road not far away, a girl in a lab coat walked by carrying a folder.
Hearing cheers from not far away, she paused for a moment and subconsciously looked over.
Is anyone playing a game?
Upon seeing that it was a volleyball match, He Wanzhou raised her beautiful eyebrows and suddenly remembered that Gu Fan was also participating in this competition.
Out of curiosity, she walked over and looked at the competition venue through the iron fence. Because of the large crowd surrounding it, it took her quite a while to spot Gu Fan.
"He's quite handsome..." He Wanzhou murmured softly.
At this point, the score was tied at twelve.
The School of Chemistry and Biology caught up, and the opposing team called a timeout.
"Later, we'll coordinate with Gu Fan, launch a strong attack to match point, and then play it safe," Long solemnly instructed the team.
Everyone nodded solemnly.
They joined the volleyball team not only for academic credits but also out of their love for the sport, and they made a name for themselves in matches.
The timeout ended, and both teams returned to the court.
This time, the School of Chemistry and Biology chose to launch a strong attack. Despite the opponent's desperate attempts to block them, Gu Fan, with his advantage of jumping high, acted quickly and scored directly, bringing his team to match point first.
The opposing team tried to catch up, but at that moment their mentality completely collapsed, and a single mistake ended the game.
Cheers erupted throughout the stadium.
As the outcome was inevitable, He Wanzhou, who was not far away, smiled and then turned to leave.
The students from the School of Chemistry and Biology were in high spirits after winning the game, and the group headed to the cafeteria in a grand procession.
After dinner, in front of a stone pier.
With a serious expression, Jiang Yumeng applied ice to Gu Fan's swollen and red hand.
After they finished eating, Jiang Yumeng went to a milk tea shop and bought a bag of ice, because she kept talking about Gu Fan's hand injury.
"Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore," Gu Fan said with a smile.
Jiang Yumeng said with concern, "Where doesn't it hurt? It's all swollen."
Gu Fan smiled. That's how volleyball is; it mostly relies on the strength of the arms. His wrist was indeed a little sore, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After applying the ice for nearly half an hour, until the ice melted, Jiang Yumeng finally stopped. By then, she was sweating profusely from the effort.
Gu Fan lovingly reached out and wiped her face, saying, "Thank you, my dear girlfriend."
Jiang Yumeng pouted and said proudly, "That's right, only I'm this good to you."
Gu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze already showing some ill intent: "Then I'll be nicer to you too?"
Before Jiang Yumeng could react, Gu Fan pulled her into his arms, and then sealed her delicate lips with his.
"Hmm..."
Jiang Yumeng stared at him blankly, her eyes wide.
No, you mean that being nice to me is taking advantage of me?
Rogue senior!
Jiang Yumeng's face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment. She tried to struggle, but to no avail, and quickly lost herself in the moment.
Gu Fan gently kissed Jiang Yumeng, feeling her softness and sweetness.
Just then, footsteps approached, followed by several low laughs.
Taking the opportunity, Jiang Yumeng pushed Gu Fan away, blushing as she said, "Ugh, everyone saw us!"
Gu Fan laughed heartily: "What's there to be afraid of? What's wrong with the two of us being intimate?"
"You're so mean!" Jiang Yumeng glared at him, both embarrassed and indignant.
However, she wasn't angry; she was just embarrassed.
Leaving their original spot, the two strolled along the campus paths, enjoying the tranquility after their victory and each other's company.
"By the way, I participated in a research project..."
Gu Fan told Jiang Yumeng about Professor He's experimental research.
The latter's expression was somewhat strange: "Just you, a guy? Two girls? And a really beautiful girl?"
Gu Fan chuckled and tapped her head with his finger: "Why is your focus so strange?"
Jiang Yumeng pouted: "Isn't that right? My boyfriend is so handsome, what if someone tries to steal him away from me?"
Gu Fan looked at her earnestly: "Then I promise you, I will definitely uphold the virtues of a husband and remain chaste for you, how about it?"
Jiang Yumeng immediately blushed: "Who...who asked you to do this?"
Gu Fan smiled when he saw her shy expression.
He found that Jiang Yumeng's shyness was when she was at her cutest.
Before they knew it, it was getting late, and Gu Fan escorted Jiang Yumeng back to her dormitory.
As they parted, Gu Fan kissed Jiang Yumeng's forehead again and said, "Goodnight, my girlfriend."
"Um…"
Jiang Yumeng lowered her head, her face flushed, and fled in panic.
